i'm in the mood again

hail to the taxis

they go where i go

farewell the newspapers that know more than i know

flung under a street-lamp still burning at dawn

i'm in the mood again

i walk the damp streets rather than slumber

along the fine windows of shameless and plunder

but none of their riches could ever compare

i'm in the mood again

i don't know what's come over me

but it's nothing that i'm doing wrong

you took the breath right out of me

now you'll find it in the early hours

in a lover's song

i lay my head down on fine linens and satin

away from the mad-hatters who live in manhattan

the empire state building illuminating the sky

i'm in the mood

i'm in the mood

i'm in the mood again.
